Electrical Testing 000 V Rating The BugWrench handle is designed with a visual and physical indicator permanently molded (in a shape of a rib) in 2 positions on the handle. This rib provides an indication of the isolated area of the handle. Holding the wrench behind the appropriate rib (see photo) provides a,000 V rating between the metal working end and the operator s hand. 000 V Isolation Indicating Rib Holding a BugWrench Properly with Hand Behind the Rib Independent dielectric tests as shown below have demonstrated that the fiberglass reinforced nylon handle used on all non-conductive BugWrench models meet or exceed all electrical requirements contained in ASTM 0-0. Dielectric Test Dielectric Test Setup for End-to-End Isolation Dielectric Test Setup with Aluminum Sheet and Spring representing the mass of an operator s hand Ultimate Dielectric Strength Test The wrench was submerged in high dielectric (transformer) oil. One working end of the wrench was energized and the other working end was grounded. The voltage was raised until puncture occurred. Actual Video Screen Captures of BW-223 During the Puncture Test. Note the corona on the outside of the test tank. Oil must be used to force the failure (puncture) through the center of the wrench, otherwise the flashover would occur over the surface of the handle. These wrenches are NOT intended to provide primary electrical protection. Workers should always wear appropriate personal protective equipment including properly rated rubber gloves with leather protectors.
Indicating Ribs T he BugWrench handle is formulated of a high strength and high dielectric polymer. All BugWrench tools equipped with the high dielectric handle include the following features: See-Through Port A see-through port in the center of the handle to confirm that the two ends are not electrically connected Tool metal-to-metal electrical isolation superior to others Pull-Apart Strength greater than others Indicator Ribs for improved safety High visibility yellow color Twice the Metal-to-Metal Electrical Isolation /" x 3/4" model data he unique design and manufacturing process T ensures maximum metal-to-metal separation, with unmatched mechanical strength.
